no worries it's all uphill from here :D (speaking from a "turning 36 this year but just until a few months ago i thot i was turning 35" person. see - u really do forget how old ur gonna be ;D happy birthday!

Old lady talking...will be 60 next year. I was of the generation that said not to trust anyone over 30 so I've been untrustworthy for a while now.:-) As we ALL learn, age is just a number and how you feel in your heart and in your head is what matters. When you stop wanting to learn about new things or when you start going backwards in your thinking, that is when you become old. And maybe, for some people, that is their comfort. when people start putting anyone in a compartment, like, "these young kids nowadays" or "those helicopter moms", or "those long haired hippies", that is when things become limiting; when other people try to pin you down. We all get older if we are LUCKY and no one gets out of this alive. So smile and be happy that the adventure continues!As long as you wnat to learn

I remember crying when I turned 30....but girl, when I turned 50 I was so depressed. I made my family take me to the mountains so I could mourn. We had a birthday party and I put 39 on the cake. I was in bitter denial. I told the kids from that day on never to ask again how old their dad and I were. We would be forever 39. But seriously, I feel even better than I did at 30 so I guess it's not worth worrying about. Happy Birthday.~betty
